What is the Quality Assurance Program?
CMU participates in the U.S. Department of Education’s Quality Assurance (QA) Program.. The goals of this program include improving equity and fairness in awarding public dollars to needy students and assessing the quality and accuracy of the financial aid process. Participation in the QA Program assists us in evaluating and improving our service to students by identifying the types of errors made by students and their families as they complete the financial aid application process. We will also use this process to evaluate our internal procedures. The evaluation will include the selection and verification of federal financial aid applications. We will notify you if you have been selected for this process.
The Financial Aid Office is a participant in the U.S. Department of Education’s Quality Assurance Program; we do not participate in the Federal Verification Program. You do not need to submit the verification worksheet if your SAR indicates that you were selected for verification. If we need additional documents to verify your FAFSA (such as tax returns or the verification form) we will send these to you, which you must complete and return to us.
